Sweet & Me Sweet & Me is a cakery selling delicious Pacific-inspired treats in Onehunga. The “true to the Pacific spirit” little bakery owned by passionate Fijian-born cook Bert Jang is a success story for the Pacific community. It was opened this month with Kitchen Project, an Auckland council initiative that helps emerging food business grow in Auckland. But Sweet & Me won't need much of an introduction judging by Bert's large La Cigale Market fan-base where he first began selling his signature Koko lamington, coconut cassava cakes, island-style banoffee, and many more treats. Alongside traditional flavours used, he also hand-paints his macaroons and sculpts cakes with Fijian designs. Visit 235 Church street, Onehunga and online at Sweetandme.co.nz
